New Earth: Flash

Chapter 19

Some of the ideas in this story from this point on are inspired from the works of ArrroverseFan833. I hope they don't mind me using them and if any of you have not read their works yet, I recommend you give them a look, since honestly, they remind me of some of my earlier work in this particular topic.

"Hey Captain, can I talk to you for a minute?" Barry asked Singh when he entered the precinct the following day, since the team had voted and agreed to bring Singh into the fold.

"Yeah sure." Singh said as he led Barry into his office.

"Thanks. Now I have to warn you this will hurt a bit." Barry said and before Singh could ask what he meant, Barry pressed the memory ring up against Singh's arm and then he understood as he saw his life flash before his eyes. Or more specifically, his pre-crisis life flash before his eyes.

"What the hell was that Allen? Or should I say, Flash?" Singh asked as he looked at the speedster.

"Sorry about the pain Captain, but it was necessary, since I was restoring your memories of the way the world was before the crisis." Barry said.

"So that's why I know that your dad is innocent and I feel guilty for ever doubting you." Singh said.

"Yeah. I'll accept your apology later. Right now, I need a favor." Barry said.

"What is it?" Singh asked.

"Allegra Garcia. Iris pulled some strings to get her a job at Danvers Daily News." Barry said, only to have Singh interrupt him.

"Danvers Daily News?" Singh asked, since while the name sounded slightly familiar, he didn't know what it was.

"It's a new national media outlet that a friend of ours founded and offered Iris a job running the Central City office." Barry said.

"And you trust this friend?" Singh asked.

"Kara Danvers is one of my closest friends. Both as Barry Allen and as the Flash." Barry said.

"What city does she live in?" Singh asked as he started to put the pieces together.

"National City." Barry said.

"She's Supergirl isn't she?" Singh asked and Barry nodded.

"I trust you'll keep her secret." Barry said.

"Just as I keep yours and how I intend to keep Mr. Queen's identity as the Green Arrow a secret as well, as long as he does this time." Singh said, surprising Barry. Not that Singh knew that Oliver was the Green Arrow, since everyone who remembered the old earth knew that, but that Singh was willing to keep it a secret.

"Really, I thought that you'd be thinking along the lines of the SCPD." Barry said.

"Look, I'll admit, when he first came on the scene, I had my concerns about him, but he's proven himself a hero in his own way. Plus, he's one of the few people who's able to deal with people like you and Supergirl if you get mind controlled." Singh said.

"I trust Oliver with my life." Barry said.

"And I'm willing to trust your judgement, as long as he doesn't become a threat to this city." Singh said and Barry nodded.

"You're much more understanding of him than Joe was." Barry said.

"Wait, Joe knew too?" Singh asked.

"Yep. But anyways, back to Allegra." Barry said.

"Right, what exactly did you want regarding her?" Singh asked.

"She's eligible for Iron Height's work release program right?" Barry asked and Singh nodded.

"Though since she's still technically considered a minor, since she's 17, she'll need a legal guardian, but anyways, why do you want to know that?" Singh asked.

"As I was saying, Kara has approved letting Iris offer Allegra a job at Danvers Daily News, since she was a reporter working for Iris before, no reason she can't be again, since we're also going to be restoring her memories as well." Barry said.

"If you can find a legal guardian for her, since as far as our records tell, the only known family she has is her cousin Esperanza and we both know how that turned out." Singh said.

"I'll let Iris know, see if we can figure something out. Thank you captain." Barry said.

"No problem Flash. Tell Joe I want to work with him on your dad's case, since now that I know that your dad is innocent, I intend on helping to get him out of prison." Singh said and Barry nodded at him gratefully.

"Thank you Captain. I'll let him know and I think that he and Cecille are working on this already." Barry said and Singh nodded.

"I look forward to working with you again. How about I come over to your place tonight so you can fully bring me up to speed on everything else." Singh said and Barry nodded.

"Until then Captain." Barry said as he walked out of Singh's office.
